  • BBSLink Drop down menu

    From Denn to All on Sunday, September 14, 2025 15:29:21
    this is what AI says about my BBSLink drop down menu.

    The BBSLink scores drop-down menu is an optional feature for Synchronet BBSes that displays the high scores from BBSLink-networked games directly on a BBS's website
    . It was created by Denn from Outwest BBS and uses the score files from BBSLink to generate a dynamic menu.
    Here is how the scores feature works:

    What it is: A script that reads the BBSLink score files for various networked door games and formats them for display on a website.
    Purpose: Allows users and sysops to quickly see the current high scores for the networked door games available on their BBS without having to load the game itself.
    Software integration: The feature is designed specifically for Synchronet BBSes, a popular modern BBS software package.
    Functionality: It creates a drop-down menu on the web interface of the BBS. Clicking on the menu reveals a list of games, and selecting a game displays its high scores.
    Alternative formats: In addition to the drop-down menu, BBSLink offers other ways to view scores, including ANSI score files, which display the scores using ANSI graphics.
